There are a variety of species of moulds and they occur naturally indoors and outdoors. Different species of mould grow on different types of building materials. Mould growth relies on moisture and organic nutrients in order to thrive. Building areas with high humidity and inadequate ventilation are ideal breeding grounds for mould.

Visible mould could be an indication of a building systems problem and there may be mould occurring in concealed areas such as under carpets, behind drywall and in ductwork.

Mould growth in buildings is a health hazard and precautions should be taken during removal. Exposure to mould may cause skin and eye irritation, nose and throat irritation and in some cases increased rates of respiratory disease and building related asthma. Even dead mould spores can pose a health hazard, therefore it is essential that removal is thorough.
